Oquist went to school with Morrison but I can’t find his public health qualifications.

Find you some solidarity like white males back each other for the lowest of low bar performative mediocrity so as to maintain their dominance of public discourse at every turn.

in fact I can’t find his qualifications at all. Is Oquist an economist? An arts grad who majored in politics? His bios all say political strategist and consultant. Maybe he is not qualified to assess policy but willing to valorise Morrison? Perfect fit for murdoch columnist!

the Oquist wiki entry on school and uni ends with his student politics instead of whatever degree he was enrolled in; and is silent on whether or not he graduated.

anyway fuck that guy and fuck the Australia Institute for running with the Morrison government political comms strategy of piggybacking public health outcomes to fiscal measures which start kicking in from 27 April.

the only fiscal stimulus that has been paid so far is $750 to centrelink recipients. But Morrison has decided to kick off his comms strategy - the strategy is to trumpet future unknowable results of spending that begins to flow in two weeks - today. As always, the media oblige.
